Using Google Glass, I am able to discover Bluetooth devices and see their address and information. However, I cannot get the Glass to pair (bond) with them.
Update
Following the instructions on this page now I'm trying to get the bonding, but for some reason the BluetoothDevice.ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED.equals(action)
is never happening.
private void pairDevice(BluetoothDevice Ddevice) {
Log.d("MY_LOG", "Try to pair " + Ddevice.getName());
try{
Method m = Ddevice.getClass().getMethod("createBond", (Class[]) null);
m.invoke(Ddevice, (Object[]) null);
Log.d("MY_LOG", "Pairing " + Ddevice.getName());
}catch(Exception e){
Log.d("MY_LOG", "Error: ");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
In the LOG I always get "Pairing DeviceName" but when I search for the bonded devices, it remains empty.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
So I will answer my own question as I just found the way.
So first, the discovery of devices is quite easy, in onCreate()
I used (besides all other sort of code you need):
MyBT = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
MyBT.startDiscovery();
Filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND); // Register the BroadcastReceiver
Filter2 = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_PAIRING_REQUEST); // Register the Bond changing state
registerReceiver(mReceiver, Filter); // Don't forget to unregister during onDestroy
registerReceiver(mReceiver, Filter2); // ******
Then at the BroadcastReceiver
you need to manage the devices and the pairing requests:
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { // Create a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_FOUND
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) { // When discovery finds a device
BluetoothDevice BTdevice = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE); // Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
ListDev.add(BTdevice); // Add the device to an array adapter to show...
}
if(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_PAIRING_REQUEST.equals(action)){
BluetoothDevice device = ListDev.get(selectedDevice);
byte[] pinBytes = getStrFromName(device.getName(),7,11).getBytes(); // My devices had their own pin in their name, you can put a constant pin here...
try {
Log.d("MY_LOG", "Try to set the PIN");
Method m = device.getClass().getMethod("setPin", byte[].class);
m.invoke(device, pinBytes);
Log.d("MY_LOG", "Success to add the PIN.");
try {
device.getClass().getMethod("setPairingConfirmation", boolean.class).invoke(device, true);
Log.d("MY_LOG", "Success to setPairingConfirmation.");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("MY_LOG", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("MY_LOG", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
};
After that the device is bonded and you can manage the connection with the UUID and the sockets just as in the Android webpage example.
Hope this helps!
